SA-CD/DVD-A?

So what do yall think about the future of these formats? I purchased two SA-CD's today Eric Clapton Slowhand and Incubus A Crow Left of the Murder. And I really enjoy both. But the thing is that it seems that their are not many avable at the local stores and Im scared to start a colection of them in fear that players wont play them in a few years and that this collection will be friviolus. But I do enjoy the quality.

True, I don't see many SACD or DVDA in record stores, but who buys from record stores anyway? They never have much in the way of classical music on any media. Check out the web sources (such as elusivedisc.com or acousticsounds.com) and you will see many discs available.

I agree that both SACD/DVD-A will basically remain audiophile formats, although I do see SACD lasting longer than either DVD-A or DualDisc. DVD-A suffered bad software support from its main supporter, Warner Music. And DualDisc is slipped out of the gates with compatibility issues. While SACD software is slow in coming in the US, I do see the support from labels like Universal and Telarc helping the format to gain a foothold.

In my opinion (we all have them )
If there was more SACD discs avaialable there would be much more interest.The list is still paultry.
Look at the Stones, Dylans, CCR, Pink Floyd discs they seem to sell well.
But, there is NO new music coming out in Hybrid SACD, Why ???
If it ever had a chance I thought the Hybrid dics were the answer to get this thing a Rolling.
